I was very annoyed to see “The Hurt Locker” winning best picture and director. Even though I liked the movie I thought Avatar deserved it more. Avatar surely wasn’t the greatest of movies, but I thought it really revolutionized filmmaking and it was a good movie as well (except the alien lovemaking scene).
I would've rather picked ‘ Up in the Air ’ as the best picture and director, but I knew that would never happen. Its such a wonderful film; funny, sad and so honest, and George Clooney is just a joy to watch. What an amazing actor; I mean that guy has it all; looks, talent, personality (and he’s against marriage as well, which is awesome)
Anyways, back to Hurt Locker. Most of you won’t agree with me, but I think it was a political move to give the best picture / director award to Hurt Locker. The thing is this kind of stuff almost happens almost every year at the oscars. A few years ago, ‘Crash’ won best picture which was such a big joke. The majority of academy voters consists of actors, which I think it shouldn’t be. They should also include critics and other members that are not actors.
But overall it was a pretty good oscar ceremony although it ran a little long. Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin were funny as hosts, but it seemed like Martin had all the jokes.
Aright, I don’t feel like writing anymore. But stay tune, hopefully in the next few weeks, I’ll have more post up
